This is an update to my previous post. Maybe I'm wrong about this and both my Thunderbird, FM webmail, and the other places I tested just have the 7-bit ASCII limitation.

I looked at the raw text on gmail and FM's webmail. Both showed,

Code:

I can=92t think o

I guess =92 is the right curved quote because hex 92 is what I see in the extended ASCII table so I guess FM doesn't change it. It just can't display it.

My Thunderbird's raw text for this however looks like,

Code:

I can=EF=BF=BDt think o

which I am not sure what that is. 3-byte Unicode maybe for the black diamond with a question mark in it?
